                         Friday, March 10, 2017

  Mr. MEEHAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Oreland Boy Scout 
Troop 1 of Montgomery County, Pennsylvania as it celebrates its 100th 
Anniversary. The Boy Scouts of America chartered the troop in 1917, and 
its members have been active and dedicated contributors to their 
communities in the century since. Today, Troop 1 hosts scouts from 
Oreland, Flourtown, Erdenheim, Fort Washington, Maple Glen and other 
neighboring communities.
  The Boy Scouts are one of the largest youth development organizations 
in the country, and I am pleased to have so many active troops in 
Pennsylvania's 7th District. Oreland Boy Scout Troop 1 is one such 
troop, among the oldest in Pennsylvania, and it has trained so many of 
our area's youth to be young men of character, service, and commitment 
to community and country.
  Mr. Speaker, Oreland Boy Scout Troop 1 performs an invaluable service 
to the scouts involved and the communities it serves. I thank the 
Troop's scouts and leaders over the last century for their service and 
leadership.
